Hyundai Elantra: Capacity/weight

Every vehicle has a carefully defined weight and capacity limit, and your Hyundai Elantra is no exception. This data includes curb weight, gross vehicle weight, and maximum payload, which collectively determine how much the vehicle can safely carry. Overloading can compromise braking, fuel economy, and tire performance. It can also strain the suspension and reduce steering responsiveness. Whether you’re transporting passengers, cargo, or both, it's essential to keep the combined load within the manufacturer’s specifications. Understanding these limits is particularly important when towing, using roof racks, or planning long road trips. Respecting capacity helps ensure both safety and mechanical reliability for the long term.
